Living Spaces is a peer-learning programme designed for local and regional authorities to learn how to plan and implement high-quality architectural policies and projects. From July 2023 to November 2024, the programme facilitated exchanges among the EU’s cities, regions, Member States and relevant stakeholders on processes and good practices.
Funded by the creative Europe programme of the European Union, Living Spaces was implemented by Eurocities and the Architects’ Council of Europe.
Living spaces Catalogue
Explore the Living Spaces catalogue with 30 good practices from 17 European countries with information on management, budget and transferable ideas to inspire other cities and regions to implement their own projects.
The catalogue is aimed at local and regional authorities, architecture and urban planning professionals, and anyone interested in quality, sustainable and inclusive built environment.
Living spaces peer-learning visits
Living Spaces organised 12 peer-learning visits based on good practices in European cities and regions. The peer-learning visits were an opportunity to see first-hand how other cities and regions have implemented policies and projects contributing to a high-quality living environment for everyone.
The visits also offered networking opportunities and connect peers, experts and relevant stakeholders from different background and cities/regions.
